第11章 观英伦跌宕史感人本精神之衰落(10)

In autumn the partridges whirred up, birds in flocks flew like spray across the fallow, rooks appeared on the grey, watery heavens, and flew cawing into the winter. Then the men sat by the fire in the house where the women moved about with surety, and the limbs and the body of the men were impregnated with the day, cattle and earth and vegetation and the sky, the men sat by the fire and their brains were inert, as their blood flowed heavy with the accumulation from the living day.

The sisters were crossing a black path through a dark, soiled field.On the left was a large landscape, a valley with collieries, and opposite hills with cornfields and woods, all blackened with distance, as if seen through a veil of crape.White and black smoke rose up in steady columns, magic within the dark air.Near at hand came the long rows of dwellings, approaching curved up the hill-slope, in straight lines along the brow of the hill.They were of darkened red brick, brittle, with dark slate roofs.The path on which the sisters walked was black, trodden-in by the feet of the recurrent colliers, and bounded from the field by iron fences;the stile that led again into the road was rubbed shiny by the moleskins of the passing miners.Now the two girls were going between some rows of dwellings, of the poorer sort.A Women, their arms folded over their coarse aprons, standing gossiping at the end of their block, stared after the Brangwen sisters with that long, unwearying stare of aborigines;Bchildren called out names.

Gudrun went on her way half dazed. If this were human life, if these were human beings, living in a complete world, then what was her own world, outside?She was aware of her grass-green stockings, her large grass-green velour hat, her full soft coat, of a strong blue colour.And she felt as if she were treading in the air, quite unstable, her heart was contracted, as if at any minute she might be precipitated to the ground.She was afraid.

She clung to Ursula, who, through long usage was inured to this violation of a dark, uncreated, hostile world. C But all the time her heart was crying, as if in the midst of some ordeal:I want to go back, I want to go away, I want not to know it, not to know that this exists.Yet she must go forward.

Ursula could feel her suffering.
